Specific models of dumpsters found in national parks. Apparently making sure that the smartest bear can't get into a dumpster while making sure the dumbest person can is a grey zone.

There have been national park visitors who have asked at what time the animals are let out of their cages and put back in them. Then again, that might be an education issue rather than a stupidity problem. Would it be ethical to experiment on these people by suggesting "we'll tell you if you can get that dumpster open"?

Caveat: Having never seen those dumpsters, I have the nagging feeling that I could well be outsmarted by the bears.

There's another factor though: The bear will keep trying over and over if it smells something in there, for hours if it feels like it. Tourists, meanwhile, might not even try again if they can't get it open right away.

1000%. It's a miracle when someone uses the trash cans or pack in/out at all.

Leave no trace isn't common knowledge, nor respected by lots of people, especially the less experienced or invested. Even the slightest inconvenience can be the difference between the can and the ground.

I remember a lady reviewed a solar eclipse party on Facebook 1star because they held it midweek instead of on the weekend and she couldn't go

That first can very well be a mixup between zoos, those parks where you can drive your car through and look at animals and national parks. I can fully see people getting it mixup a bit. So I would put that under education miss.

And regarding the dumpsters I have been outsmarted by a child proff container so I will show respect to the dumpster.
